Day 1 of the WSC Founders was COLD (high of 5°) and windy (15-20 knots). Frequent squalls drove near-freezing rain into grimacing faces. The biting cold worked its way through neoprene and fleece into sailor’s cores. Debbie and Greg set a high standard but Richard & Hein had layered up enough to outlast the rest of the fleet and build an unbeatable lead. Day two was also cool with single-digit temperatures and light, puffy, flippy-floppy winds. Debbie & Gregg duked it out with Ken & Fraser all morning, then a confusing abandonment drove most to shore. It was great to have Roy Tichkowsky’s sleek boat return, well-sailed by son Ian and nephew Neil. The youthful enthusiasm of accomplished sailors and new Fireball owners David & Wojciech was infectious, as they prepared and raced Roy’s much older wooden boat. This well-run regatta gave us great sailing and some fun social time! Photo credits to Fred Hadley.

A small contingent of fireballs raced in the Jericho Classic regatta in Vancouver on June 1st and 2nd. Thanks to Jim Davie and Dominique Labrosse for some great pictures from the event!
